Hi,
I live in Norway and TRT is in the dark ages here (due to "hormone-phobia" etc). Its a challenge to find a good doctor and proper help.
Anyway, I recently changed my doctor because the previous one retired.
I do not feel as good as I had hoped on my protocol now. My libido is low. What should be checked on the blood work for this issue in particular? I train and live healthy and I try to manage stress, so I feel reasonably sure this is a hormonal issue.
See the photo below. This is what my new doctor measures. I feel there are flaws in this blood test. They do not even measure estrogen/estrodial at all - nor do they measure prolactin.
I guess I need to ask my doctor, respectfully of course, to do a more comprehensive blood test. What else should be measured? What is "missing" from the list below?
I apologize if this has been covered ad nauseam elsewhere in the forum.... I cannot find what I am looking for, so hopefully a new thread about the topic is ok.
Thanks for your feedback!
